On Sunday night I fired off an email to the editor of the West Australian newspaper. I was angry at the preferential treatment outlaw bikers get over ordinary law abiding citizens.
Basically a well known biker died recently and at the funeral the bikers were refusing to wear helmets and stop for red lights as a [...]
This week I start my role as a youth minisry coach with the Baptist churches of WA working 12 hours a week. My job is simply to meet with local youth pastors and help them be more effective in their roles.
Its not about influencing them to be like me or to buy into my psycho [...]
I’m no fan, but I have been impressed with his gutsy efforts over the last week – even stayed up late to watch him!
We’ve invited a few of the neighbours round to watch the final at 5.00pm today. Tnnis starts at 5.00 or so and we’ll order pizza for 6.00, if its not all over [...]
Today I woke up and rather than looking out the window, seeing a warm sunny day and launching the boat I said to Danelle that I’d like to ‘go to church’.
That’s a tad unusual for me as I am not part of any Sunday church these days. (Our church meets on a Monday night.) [...]

I’m in the process of exploring various ethical frameworks and overviews as I sense that getting a [...]
A few days ago I spotted a sign on the local Supa Valu notice board advertising a ‘healing festival’ to be held in the local area over the weekend of Feb 19 & 20. There are over 40 different forms of healing going to be doing their thing over those two days… but I didn’t [...]
If I weren’t such a cheapskate and consigned to the ‘basic’ level of typepad I’d probably change the colour and design of my blog about now. I like a change every now and then and I reckon its about time.
What I have done is add a few new links in the ‘other blogs I read’ [...]
